Upgrade from E420 and two other Olympus cameras
I purchased this camera 06.09.2011 having read and studied technical details and thought that it would be difficult to use. However, I have found it easier than the other cameras (perhaps with my past experience of the other three) and is very satisfying to use/operate.

Olympus E-5 digital SLR
Olympus' E-5 is the flagship camera in the company's range, and it's aimed at enthusiast photographers as well as professionals. It's a bulky camera (as most good digital SLRs are) and it's quite hard to use the first time you pick it up. However, it has a tonne of features and it's very quick.
Pros:
- Fast burst mode
- fast focusing
- useful Live View mode and articulating screen
Cons:
- Noisy images
- poor high ISO performance
- hard to use

The wait is finally over, as the keenly awaited Olympus E-5 is finally here. It is the third generation camera of the hugely popular professional SLR series. The original E-1 had hit the stores way back in the year 2003. The E-3 came four years after that in the year 2007, and now we have the E-5.

Olympus E-5
The Nikon will automatically record to the second card if the first one fills up, or record to both simultaneously to create a backup. Yet the E-5 won't do any of that; it lets you use only one card at a time, either the Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital (SD).
Pros:
- Crisp
- colorful images in normal light
- Rugged
- weatherproof body
- Swiveling LCD screen
Cons:
- Subpar low-light images
- Limited movie mode
- Confusing menus and buttons
- Rivals with better specs cost less

A 12.3 million pixel sensor borrowed from the E-PL1, a new TruePic V+ processing engine, 720p movie recording and an electronic level are all improvements that the Olympus E-5 has on the E-3, but is that enough to tempt Four Thirds photographers to buy an E-5?

Excellent with good light
I've been using an Olympus E-1 since early 2004. I use the ZD 14-54mm, 50-200mm, 50mm macro and Panasonic/Leica 25mm Four-Thirds lenses. I've mainly been shooting sports/action and wildlife photos.

This camera does everything I wanted it to do.
I have owned an Olympus E-5 for 2 years. I have used it to do Macro, Landscapes, wildlife, family, sports. It has handled everything I have tried effortlessly. The results have been absolutely beautiful. I have used it on beaches, in the mountains and everywhere you can think of.
